Descripción de la oferta

At Plum, we're on a mission to help everyone be financially better off. We're building a quirky Messenger chatbot that links to your bank, understands your spending habits and helps you save more, invest in things that matter and avoid overspending on your bills. We like to think of Plum as your money's best friend 👫

Engineering at Plum

Our engineers come from a variety of backgrounds (physics, computer science, music, even history!) and we welcome all levels of experience. We ❤️ Python, React, Postgres and Redis but we don't care if you're a Pythonista or not – Python's elegance comes from its simplicity so you'll be able to pick it up quickly.

We value good engineering principles and healthy curiosity. We take a conservative approach to using external frameworks and we aspire to write simple, well-tested code, delivered in rapid iterations. It's actually a pretty exciting period as we've just started our move from Heroku to GCP and Kubernetes (scaling issues and all...) 🚀

Architect complex systems and teams

We're looking for experienced, talented and empathetic senior engineers to join our team in London. As a lead engineer, you'll be part of a squad and you'll probably spend 70% of your time coding/architecting and 30% mentoring and giving feedback to engineers in your squad. You'll also be involved in sourcing, interviewing and supporting new hires and making sure that we maintain a solid presence in the London tech scene.

If you're unsure whether you fit the role, feel free to email our CTO at alex@withplum.com to discuss the specifics in more detail.

Our stack & approach

We ❤️ Python, React, Postgres and Redis. We don't care if you're a Pythonista or not – Python's elegance comes from its simplicity so you'll be able to pick it up quickly. We value good engineering principles and healthy curiosity.

How we work

We work in "squads (https://workable.com/nr?l=https%3A%2F%2Flabs.spotify.com%2F2014%2F03%2F27%2Fspotify-engineering-culture-part-1%2F) " – a more startup-appropriate name for saying small, cross-functional teams. Each squad has a mission and a set of KPIs to monitor and improve. We have 3 of these squads right now – Savings, Investments and Black Ops. As an engineer you'll work in a squad but you can also reach out to and work with anyone in the company.

Our culture: openness and accountability

Even though you'll have a primary role, you can get involved in any aspect of the business you're interested in and contribute feedback and product ideas freely. In return, we'll expect you to back your decisions with data and logic. Features are considered finished when the data tells us that they've moved the needle.

What we look for

For this role, some experience in managing high-performing engineers is essential. We'd also like to see evidence that you had a significant role in architecting and maintaining large production systems.

Nevertheless, we are a startup treading in uncharted territory so attitude is even more important. We're looking for people that like uncertainty and want to figure out how to do things that haven’t been done before. You're a true team player and inherently positive. Where others see problems, you see solutions.

What we offer

* Bucketfuls of challenging problems to solve, so hopefully that's your thing! Our job is to take a complicated, archaic domain and make it simple and accessible to everyone.
* One of the best learning experiences of your life. You'll get to work with extremely smart and capable people, with backgrounds in finance, physics, history, computing, languages and more.
* Competitive pay and company stock options – we're all in this together.
* Work from our Athens office whenever you want.
* Team trip to secret destinations once a year ✈️
* Plants, lots of plants 🌱
* Fresh fruit (plums obviously), snacks with varying health benefits and great coffee. Because you can't be a startup without great coffee.
